Expert Reviews of the Blizzard Sheeva 10 Skis
Mary C. From my experience, the new Blizzard Sheeva 10 does a very good job of balancing a lively ride with on-snow stability. Not an easy task! Charge-y skiers who value a lively and fun ride will appreciate the Sheeva's ability to do both. Progressing intermediates and advanced skiers will love the quickness and confidence-inspiring feel to push things a little harder, especially folks who might find themselves navigating firm snow sections around the mountain. I know for my personal skiing—dealing with terrain that is fairly skied out and scraped off after storms—having something with a bit of edge really helps boost the confidence in my riding and encourages me to tackle lines with more speed and fluidity.
Overall, the Sheeva brings quick turn initiations and playful energy, but a locked-in feel on firm snow. The ski tracks better, deflects less in choppy snow than older versions, and carves really well for the waist width. What more could one ask for?

Review Ratings
Turn Ease
5/5
Mary C. gave 5 of 5 stars. With a medium turning radius of 16.5, the Sheeva is playful but is not recommended for beginners as it is a powerful ski for the more hard chargers. The intermediate/expert skiers will have smooth transitions with the long rocker profile. My favorite thing about this ski is its tighter turn radius, which encourages maneuverability.
Playfulness
4/5
Mary C. gave 4 of 5 stars. The shape of the ski employs Carbon Flipcore D.R.T. Technology, which integrates a specially designed, lighter core construction to provide the performance and playfulness women seek in a freeride ski. Blizzard's Dynamic Release Technology leverages a specially shaped titanal component that spans the full width under the boot but narrows toward the ski's tip and tail. This design enhances the ski's playfulness without adding weight or sacrificing stability. Paired with unidirectional carbon fiber in the tip and tail, it maintains longitudinal stability while reducing torsional rigidity for a more playful feel.
Durability
5/5
Mary C. gave 5 of 5 stars. Most Blizzard skis feature ABS or Phenol sidewalls, ensuring superior performance in terms of stability, power transmission, handling, and durability. I’ve probably skied about 90 days in all conditions with these skies, and they have held up perfectly. The edges are holding, and there is no rust.
High Speed Stability
4/5
Mary C. gave 4 of 5 stars. The Sheeva made recent updates to the design, including additional use of titanal and a little less tip rocker. The result is a noticeable boost in stability and edge grip which allows ease at higher speeds. There is a rare chatter at high speeds in tight turns, but it makes up for it being so playful.
Carving
4/5
Mary C. gave 4 of 5 stars. The Sheeva 10 typically has a well-designed sidecut, which refers to the curve of the ski's edges from the tip to the tail. A more pronounced sidecut allows for easier turn initiation and smoother carving. Additionally, a moderate turning radius contributes to the ski's agility and responsiveness, making it enjoyable for carving turns.
Versatility
5/5
Mary C. gave 5 of 5 stars. While the Sheeva 10 is known for its all-mountain versatility, it often performs well on groomed slopes, making it suitable for skiers who enjoy carving turns on a variety of terrain, unburdened by any unfavorable snow conditions. Whether I'm in powder, on groomed runs, or navigating through chunky, re-frozen terrain, the Sheeva 10 conquers it all with ease.
Flotation
5/5
Mary C. gave 5 of 5 stars. The ski features a powder-friendly profile with rocker in the tip and tail. This rocker design helps the ski stay afloat in deep powder by preventing the tips from diving into the snow. The combination of rocker and camber underfoot at 102mm provides a balance between floatation and stability.
